Lawman
Available now on Kindle! The print version will be available through Amazon by the end of the week.

Twenty years after a biological and nuclear war, the remnants of humanity live in a narrow corridor between Colorado and South Carolina. Nolan Ryan Dolan, a drifter from east Colorado, wanders into the town of Pig, Arkansas, looking for supplies.

Nolan is only looking to trade on his way to the ocean, but eleven-year-old Trudy Francis Ross sees him as something more than just another survivor. In her mind, he is a mythical Lawman...

This is something I've done most of my life, although I really didn't sit down and start writing them out until about three years ago. I'm an engineer by trade, and before that, I was a student. I was convinced my future would lie in science and engineering. If you had told me a few decades ago I would be up to five novels with about thirty-seven more planned out at the age of fifty-two, I would have laughed at the notion.

Engineers like tangible things and known quantities. Cell phones, slot machines, cruise missiles - those are all tangible things. They have weight and inherent value.

Books, especially e-books, are intangible. They aren't known quantities. They aren't objective, they're subjective. Some people are going to like them, some people are going to hate them. What is the inherent value of a book? It depends on a d…

The old man sat in his chair under the apple tree
and listened to the cattle wail. The sound was monotonous and loud, though only
two of the herd were actually calling:
the cow standing at the foot of the steep mountain calling for the newborn
calf, and the calf standing in a meadow high above, calling for its mother. The old man sighed. He took a deep breath, which
after they had cut away most of his left lung the summer before, was more of a
half breath. The cicadas sang in the Appalachian afternoon with the sun
beating down. It was cool under the apple tree, the smell of rotten apples
wafted up from the grass – the tree never birthed anything bigger than a crab
apple, and these tiny apples formed a spongy mat of rot underneath the
spreading green canopy, carrion for yellow jackets and ants. He stood up and walked across the damp yard, feeling
the apples turn to mush under his feet. The boy lay on the concrete carport, a fleet o…

A biological attack by terrorists turns into full-scale nuclear war. Twenty years later, the remnants of humanity huddle together in walled towns for safety from the mutated humanity that besieges them. Young Nolan Ryan Dolan drifts into the town of Pig, Arkansas looking for food and supplies....

About Tony Bowman...

Tony Bowman writes Horror, Science Fiction, and Thriller novels from his home in Raleigh, North Carolina.

He is a native of the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, and grew up in Butcher Knife Holler (or, "down on Butcher Knife" as the locals would say). It was a magical place where witches, bigfoot, and UFO's were considered fact and no street lights blocked out the view of the milky way at night.

Tony learned to read through comic books like Creepy, Turok: Son of Stone, and Superman. Later, he devoured the works of Heinlein, King, Bradbury, and Koontz.

His beautiful wife Laurie is his biggest fan, and his beautiful daughter Sara is his inspiration.
